Let's see what these things do lalalala

Fall Nails

NAILS!!! I’ts that time of year where it is actually in to wear darker shades of nail polish and I am so happy!!! My favorite shades are always dark colors and black is obviously my go to color for any season, what can I do if I love it? Nothing! Haha. 

This fall and winter season is obviously more about the dark shades. For fall we have more solid color whereas in winter we will see more of glittery polishes, mostly thanks to the holidays that give us an opportunity to go all glittery which, let’s admit, we all love. 

But let’s focus on fall for now, shall we? I’ve noticed that this year it’s all about what I like to call The Cholate-y Colors, which is basically colors that look like chocolate on your fingers and makes you want to eat chocolate every time you look at them. We are talking mostly brown colors, whether very pure or with a hint of red in them.

In this first collage we have Nails Inc. polishes in Cadogan Square and Holl and Park Avenue. I gotta say they look divine, I would totally wear the lighter color during the day and the darker one at nighttime, or the lighter one during the week and the darker one for partying on the weekend, which I never do anymore but in my mind watching the Parent Trap and My Best Friend’s Wedding on my bed makes me a party animal.

We’ve got two Essie polishes, one very appropriately named Chocolate Cakes and the other one, a lighter tone, called Jazz which actually reminds me of chocolate milk #yum 

The last one in this collage I’m sure will sell amazingly this upcoming holiday season and has already started to be in everyone’s nails already: Love Is Hot and Coal from the OPI Gwen Holiday Collection. What a beautiful color! Out of all the polishes in this ChocoNails! collage this is more my style because of it’s beautiful dark tone.

Ok so now let’s check the next collage out!

Fall Nail Polishes by lumi-lara featuring Essie

I included three more chocolate-y colors because I actually made this one first and then I thought it was such a good idea to do a Chocolate Nails collage. Maybe it has something to do with the emptiness eating all my 12 brownie box left in me. Here we’ve got Essie’s Partner In Crime, Little Brown Dress (such a cute name!) and OPI’s How Great Is Your Dane? (gotta love those fun OPI names).

I’ve also included a beautiful pink color called Ithaque Light Pink which is such a good option for this fall as well, always classic and stylish. If you’re not feeling the whole dark vibe or the chocolate thing this season, this color is perfect for you and I think it will be a good purchase for it’s atemporality, you can wear it any season.

Navy is another atemporal color and it goes perfectly for this season’s dark trend. This one is from Butter London and anything made in the UK I love and trust, I’m sure it won’t let us down. I recently saw Selena Gomez wearing navy nails with a white jumper and dark violet lips on her Jimmy Kimmel Live interview and I loved the whole combination of colors, but specially the navy nails.

If we are talking about singers and trendsetters can we all just take a moment to praise the one and only Taylor Swift!? She is flawless! From her perfect and highly anticipated 1989 album to all her looks during the promotion of it. I’ve probably seen all the interviews she’s done everywhere! #notsorry. You name it, Australia, UK, United States, Canada, I mean the girl is everywhere and sporting perfectly flawless looks. Her nail color of choice has mostly been a blue with glitter one but then I was watching a hilarious UK show called Chatty Man and I saw her nail color and I flipped because it was so gorgeous Mcgorgeous: a super dark green that sometimes would look black and right then and there I decided I need to have this polish like now! She wore it with a black cropped ensemble and I just...I just can’t #perfection.

What are your options for nail polish this fall? Let me know! Are you loving the darker shades? The chocolate nails? Which one will you try? I hope you guys let me know!

Check This Mini Fall!

Check this mini Fall by lumi-lara featuring ray-ban glasses

Well, this is my first post and I'm very excited but also nervous! But oh well, let's let the excitement overtake everything else. 

So many fashion icons have been spotted wearing mini skirts this fall. "Minis?" You may ask, yes indeed my friend, apparently not even the cold winds that come with this season of falling leaves and pumpkin-spice lattes are stopping this trend to be worn by everyone.

Here I present you with an easy way to take part in this trend. The shirt can be found in Zara, but really I'm sure any store will have a selection of checked shirts since this will be a must have for this season and the next. The skirt is from Bershka and the lovely shoes & clutch are from super cute mexican brand Loly in the sky. The sunglasses are unmistakably Ray Ban's Wayfarers. All these stores now have an Online Store(what took you so long Zara!?) 

If it's an actual very cold day you can always wear long black socks or tights. If you're reading this from Mexico or countries alike, I really don't think you will have a problem at all specially if you wear it at day time. Anyways, long socks and tights will look cute either way. 

Don't forget to have fun! Fashion should always be a fun thing. What twist will you give to this look? Show me! Tag me on Instragram and who knows? Maybe you could be featured here really soon. Or if you have a blog or decide to show me your look through a different platform, don't forget to let me know in the comments below. 

Make this outfit your own! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Hola! Este es mi primer post y estoy muy emocionada pero tambeién muy nerviosa! Pero bueno, dejémos que la emoción le gane a todo.

Muchos íconos de la moda han estado usando mini faldas esta temporada. Te preguntarás: “¿Minis para Otoño?” Pues sí, ni estos vientos fríos que vienen con esta estación del año de hojas que se caen y de pumkin-spice lattes están deteninedo que se usen estas falditas.

Aquí te propongo una manera facil para que tú también te unas a esta tendencia. Pongo tiendas como Zara y Bershka porque luego seguimos blogs de Estados Unidos, Canadá o cualquier parte del mundo y ellos tienen sus tiendas y sus cosas muy bonita pero nosotros ¿Dónde los conseguimos? Así que aquí estoy intentando hacer la tarea un poquito más fácil para estar a la moda. 

La blusa la puedes encontrar en Zara, pero chequé otras tiendas y todos tienen mínimo dos estilos porque ésta es una prenda que no puede faltar en tu closet para esta temporada y la próxima. La falda es de Bershka y el clutch y los zapatos súper lindos son de la marca mexicana Loly in the sky, de la cual debo decir quiero todos sus zapatos. Los lentes de sol son inconfundiblemente Wayfarers de Ray Ban. Todas estas tiendas cuentan con Tienda en Línea (ya era hora Pull&Bear, Zara y Bershka!)

Si de repente sí te encuentras con un día muy frío puedes usar este look con calcetas negras largas o medias. Si me estás leyendo desde México no creo que haya problema, sobre todo si te vistes así durante el día y si me estás leyendo desde Yucatán sigues en verano por siempre jamás. De cualquier forma, las medias y calcetas largas se verán bien.

No olvides divertirte! La moda debe ser divertida! Cómo harás tuyo este look? Taggeame en Instagram y muéstrame! Quién sabe, tal vez la proximamente te veremos como el look para seguir en este blog. Si tienes un blog o me quieres mostrar tu outfit por otro medio no olvides escribírmelo en los comments abajo.

¡Ya quiero ver qué se les ocurre! 

Abracitos,

Lumi Lara
